This trailer really annoys me. Reason being, it takes what should be a remarkable thing–reintroducing Neanderthals into the present day–and instead appears to be little more than a typical play on being a member of an “out group” (depending upon the circumstances, a woman, people of color, smart people, homosexual, etc) learning how to fit […]
For me Guillermo Del Toro is one of those directors who’s name alone is virtually a guarantee I’ll see his movie because Del Toro typically brings an earnestness to his projects that is comparable to no other director. Even when he misfires, his work is never too far from the target. That being said, I […]
As I’ve said before, I’m not a huge fan of CGI-animated movies (or paying to see them, at any rate). I recognize the work that goes into their creation, but for whatever reason they don’t move me. The trailer for Toy Story 4 dropped a day or two ago…so here it is. The trailer is […]
A few hours ago Netflix released the official trailer for Stranger Things 3, and I’m whelmed. Not under, but certainly not over, either because the producers efforts to evoke a particular time period have always rang a bit hollow to me. In other words, I think they’re trying too hard. That’s not to say I […]
According to The Wrap James Gunn has returned to Marvel Studios to direct Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 3! How this change of events came about I have no idea, but I imagine it puts Disney in an awkward position because they overreacted to some tactless, stupid Tweets from James Gunn’s past. I suspect that […]
I sometimes think people don’t understand how movies work. For instance, I see reactions to Avengers: Infinity War–the movie prior to Endgame–expressing incredulity that most of those characters are coming back. Which implies that such people are either new to this planet or have never seen a movie before because they’re somehow shocked a continuing […]
I admit that I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the trailer for Disney’s Aladdin…but I did. I found it surprisingly engaging and I felt I wasn’t being ‘Will Smithed’ to death (he’s a good actor but I like him better when he’s part of an ensemble or has a foil to work off of. Kind of […]
2016’s The OA was a pretty pleasant surprise for me. It was idiosyncratic and definitely should not have worked. And yet somehow it did. Really, really well. The sequel premieres on Netflix the 22nd of this month, and I for one can’t wait.
This is an awesome trailer! It doesn’t say that this is a Mirror Universe Superman story but the character actually wears a red cape at one point! You can tell where it’s going but it’s those similarities that make it interesting. I also hope Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster get a credit because while Blackburn […]
I’ve read two books of George R.R. Martin’s A Song Of Fire And Ice–A Game Of Thrones, A Clash Of Kings, A Storm Of Swords, A Feast Of Crows and A Dance With Dragons–and found the series somehow lacking. It lacks scale, lacks gravitas and doesn’t quite work for me, which is why I stopped […]
